bugzilla.gnome.org bzr now in launchpad

[Max Kanat-Alexander]

        The official source repository for the code of bugzilla.gnome.org is
now launchpad. You can check out the code from launchpad by doing:

        bzr co lp:bugzilla.gnome.org

        The everythingsolved repository for bugzilla.gnome.org is now dormant
and will no longer be updated.

        All members of the "GNOME Bugzilla Maintainers" group on Launchpad can
commit to that branch.

        bugzilla.gnome.org has been switched to pulling from that branch
(though you cannot commit directly from /var/www/bugzilla.gnome.org, for
safety purposes--do your own checkout, commit from that, and then do a
"bzr up" in /var/www/bugzilla.gnome.org on bugzilla-web).

        If you have questions about launchpad, #launchpad on FreeNode IRC is a
good resource. For bzr, #bzr on FreeNode is also an excellent resource.

may I ask why?

why is that the GNOME's Bugzilla is *not* hosted on GNOME? is that the
result of something like a DVCS preference? because that, I'm sorry to
say, would look pretty stupid.

ciao,

Because upstream will very likely switch to Bzr (Max is also upstream).

Same DVCS allows for stuff like:
  bzr merge bzr://bzr.bugzilla.org/bugzilla/3.4

It is on Launchpad as that is an easy place to publicly store it.

        Hey Brad. Upstream Bugzilla is going to switch to bzr, so it's easiest
to do merges and keep up to date if we stick with bzr.
